Every time you find yourself asking questions like “what can I do to increase my customer base?” or “how can I better service the customers that I have?” or “I wonder why Jim down the street has that account instead of me?” you are asking marketing-related questions. And, as simple as those questions are, they are probably the most important questions that we, as small business owners, could ever ask. We will show you just how to achieve this marketing advantage over your competition!
Our Role in The Security Industry1-800-UNLOCKS® has developed a very innovative software design that uses the most up-to-date technology to automatically, and instantly, determine the origin of any inbound call and connect them to the nearest service provider in the callers immediate area without any human intervention. Our technology partner, ComTel Communications is able to use various methods to determine the origin of each inbound call such as longitude/latitude algorithms, reverse look-up, etc. 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. We are able to offer individual locksmith business owners the opportunity to have their very own proprietary and tailored service area. The business owner would be able to geographically map out his or her service area without any competitors being able to participate in the program. Our ability to extract all of the npa/nxx codes (area code and first 3 digits of a telephone number) with our very unique databases assures that all landlines, cellular lines, and payphones are included in the applicant's desired service area. Our technology can use cities, counties, or zip codes and our custom database assures that there are no redundant npa/nxx codes shared by neighboring service providers. Our program offers several incentive programs for each successful applicant to earn free months of service. How this program is a blessing to the consumers during these troubled times with scams and locksmith posers is simple. the callers to will be assured of only the most professional, craftsman of our trade, with ethical business practices, courteous attitudes, and able to handle, or have access to handle 99.9% of their locksmith needs. With 16 years established within our industry 1-800-UNLOCKS® is obviously the choice to make when they don't have access to a phone directory or access to the internet; both of which are saturated with scammers and posers laying in wait for people to take advantage of when in need of locksmith services.
Misconceptions that are easily explainedObviously, just as any purchase or joining of any membership, the first question is "how much". Our monthly fees are based strictly on the demographics (population) of your desired service area. Our base formula is $79 per 100k population with a discount slope for higher populated areas; in most cases the amount of a couple lockouts per month. In the case that you live in a rural area and you can drive 50 miles to include the 100k population, we could decrease the radius of your coverage area and decrease the monthly rate. In the case where you may have 100k population in just a few miles, our discount slope would take into consideration these variables and the price would be discounted accordingly. It is clear that just like any investment, each investor should receive the maximum ROI they can, and with 1-800-UNLOCKS® the national average for a simple lockout is between $45 and $75, so it would not take very much effort to get the maximum ROI by doing just a few lockouts a month. To read investigative reporting and facts of our business model, we recommend you read unbiased reports by seeing the facts! This seems to be the second most misconceived notion, "why would I pay to have your number on my van and use it in my advertising efforts"? Our license agreement that we both enter into, upon officially having your company become a service provider of the 1-800-UNLOCKS® Nationally advertised service network, is our license agreement. This document gives you and your company full rights to the number 1-800-UNLOCKS®, making it YOUR number to use however your business chooses to incorporate it into your current marketing plan. Since we are not a franchise you can change the color and or shape of the logo to whatever your desire is (not that ours is not an eyesore). Since the caller is automatically transferred to your main service line you answer the phone however you would normally answer it, charge your normal rates, and collect for your services by your normal method. This makes the customer your customer, not ours. You benefit from the increased call volume, not us. Your fee stays the same if you do a dozen calls or a million calls. Our payment plans even make it more simple and inconvenient. We have several methods of payment to fit your financial status. 90*% are on the debit or credit card auto billing method and auto bank draft, while we do allow monthly checks if the payments are made each month. If they become late on more than 3 occasions we would either switch you to auto bank draft, or charge the interest based on the late payment. Of course you can get your own toll-free number, but would would you be increasing the validity of your business with a number like 877-284-1853? Will it be easily remembered so your clients do not have to pick up a phone directory and sort through dozens of pages of locksmiths, with a large percent of them being scam artists lying in wait to take advantage of the customer when they are in need of a locksmith's service? To back up our business concept you can read important research facts by viewing our facts page. Why pay for a toll-free number that doesn't have the nationally branded reputation like 1-800-UNLOCKS®? How would your clients be able to remember your phone number if they did not have a business card, assess to a directory, or the internet? "vanity" toll-free numbers have the best average of word of mouth referrals since the number is simple and explains what your business does. Here is an interesting testimonial from the Wall street journal..."Having a toll-free number is quite cheap these days when you consider the benefits it can offer a fledgling business. Making it easier for prospective customers to call -- and to remember what to dial -- will only boost call volume, and your sales potential.” In addition, The Wall Street Journal wrote “studies have found that toll-free numbers used in advertising produce many more calls than standard phone numbers. A vanity toll free number is a great way to generate additional sales. First, the call is free for your customer and the vanity 800 phone number itself advertises your business. This vanity 800 service reinforces the integrity of the name of your company, increases name recognition and boosts ad campaign responses. Second, vanity toll free numbers have an easy recall so that potential customers can easily contact you by calling the vanity 1800 number and also refer friends and colleagues to purchase products from your business or order new services." This is proven by many investigative research companies and compiled for you to read by visiting our facts page.
To really put things into perspective you would need to read what researchers say, and what the facts really show. We have compiled some very interesting research and facts about the success and unique concept of what a vanity toll-free number will do for your company. If you don't want to just take our word for it, check out the facts! Special Holiday offer: Fill out our application and if you qualify you can "test drive" the network for your service area for 30 days.

Remember, since its a proprietary negotiation, no competitors will ever be able to compete in the same area as long as you are a service provider in good standing.
